32U Weatherproof Outdoor Network Cabinet – IP66 Rated with Advanced Cooling Options (Multiple Configurations)
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 32U Outdoor Network Cabinet is engineered for high-capacity outdoor deployments where maximum equipment density, advanced thermal control, and reliable environmental protection are required. Designed for telecom infrastructure, outdoor server systems, fiber optic networks, and industrial applications, this enclosure provides a scalable and robust solution for housing large and complex systems in harsh field environments.
With IP55 and IP66-rated weatherproof protection, the cabinet ensures complete resistance against dust, heavy rain, and direct water exposure. Its extended vertical capacity allows structured installation of multiple devices, improved cable management, and integration of high-capacity cooling systems, making it ideal for mission-critical infrastructure where performance and reliability are essential.
The 32U platform is specifically built to support active climate control systems, making it suitable for high heat-generating equipment and mission-critical installations. With multiple configurations available, including integrated air conditioning systems and large-format insulated double-wall designs, this cabinet provides the flexibility required for complex outdoor infrastructure projects.

- Additional rear access, cutouts and integrations
Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Please select the appropriate option from the dropdown menu based on your thermal load and infrastructure requirements.
A/C units can be installed on both IP55 and IP66 cabinets. All cabinets with fans are technically rated around IP55, since they require openings for airflow. IP66 enclosures, on the other hand, are completely sealed and are best used with air conditioning or for equipment that does not generate heat.
Unless you are operating in very harsh environments -such as cement factories, mining sites, heavy industrial facilities, or desert areas with intense dust - IP66 is generally unnecessary. For real-world outdoor applications, IP55 is more than sufficient and performs reliably under storms, heavy rain, wind, and typical environmental conditions.
STV-HC-32U600 Cabinet Only (Fan / Cooling Ready)
This configuration includes the enclosure prepared for airflow-based cooling systems or external cooling integration.
It is suitable for installations where:
- Heat load is low to moderate
- External cooling systems will be used
- Flexible cooling design is required
The cabinet provides full IP66 protection against dust and heavy rain, ensuring reliable outdoor performance.
32U Cabinet with Integrated A/C Systems
This configuration includes integrated air conditioning options available in 300W, 600W, and 2000W capacities, with both 110V AC and 48V DC power supply options, allowing compatibility with telecom, industrial, and off-grid power systems.
Depending on the selected model, the system can provide:
Compatible A/C Units (32U Cabinets)
STV-AN01 (1010BTU 110V)
STV-AN02 (2050 BTU 110V)
STV-AN08 (8000 BTU 110V)
